Forgetting about Forgetting to Remember you #sexysnippets

New Year and I am attempting to breath new life into my old sheikh story. There have been plot changes and the working title will have to go....for what I don't know. The characters remain the same and their emotional conflict is still consistently interrupting the romance of the piece. Perhaps with some subtle changes I will finish it. We can only hope! :)

So this weeks seven sentences for sexy snippets comes from mid way through this never ending tale. The hero is fighting his desire for the heroine and she is resigned to the disappointment.

Quietly
he drew away and ran an idle thumb across her collar bone.

“You
are a most exquisite beauty,” he said, “Yet I cannot take what you offer.”

The
words registered immediately with her. It would be difficult to misunderstand
the way he stepped away from her, or how he would not quite look at her. Like a
pin puncturing a pretty balloon the air in her lungs expelled in a rush of
hurried breath as the shock change in his manner hit her.

Just
as swiftly her survival instincts kicked in, the need to preserve some self
respect forced a weary smile from her lips.

About Me

I grew up in the south of Ireland beside the sea. I still call this beautiful part of the world home. My background is in education. I love drama and debating and have been successful in both. My writing played second fiddle to these activities for a decade but in 2010 I took up the typewriter again.
